However, since international students are not studying in person in Germany/Europe and do not have the same visa/residence permit status, extra efforts need to be undertaken to get access to the German/European job market, e.g., by looking for internship placements in these regions. Constructor University can provide support with potential internship offerings. Online students can also use the advantage of studying and engage in work or internships in their own home countries.
